The Red Sox tied a modern record with six wild pitches, four by Matsuzaka (2 in the 1st and 2 in the 4th) and one each from Manny Delcarmen (6th) and Justin Masterson (7th). Also, all three Boston pitchers have nine-letter last names.

The Yankees beat the Rangers 9-2, so Boston and New York -- both 27-20 -- are tied for first place.

I can see our lineup being a little fluid for a little while. I can see us moving around a little bit here. Youk could hit third, we could hit [Dustin Pedroia] third -- there's a lot of things we could do. ...

In the next few days ... we may not have our full lineup. We are on turf, we have some quick turnarounds, we are going to see how guys come through these games and how they are swinging, how they feel.

Pedroia can also steal third! My oh my this Dustin Pedroia fella is impressive.My friend says she doesn't like Pedroia because he curses too much.And the interesting thing is ... he's the *only player* out there cursing.

I googled "Marney twins" and the third hit was a hotness contest. Marney vs. Justin Morneau. Guy talks about having to squeeze between someone in a bleacher and Marney and his knee accidentally brushed along her back.
